"De Hef" or the Koningshavenbrug is an iconic railway lift bridge in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This steel vertical lift bridge, inaugurated in 1927, was the first of its kind in Europe. Although it's no longer in operation since 1993, it's preserved as a monument to the city's industrial past. A visit to De Hef provides a glimpse into Rotterdam's rich history and its evolution as a modern city. It's an architectural marvel, a testament to the ingenuity of Dutch engineering. Additionally, its unique design makes for stunning photography, a sure hit for photo enthusiasts. Whether you're into history, architecture, or photography, De Hef is a worthwhile visit when in Rotterdam.

Historical bridge made on 1927. The also called Koningshavenbrug, was out of use for rail traffic since 24 September 1993, the railway lifting bridge over the Koningshaven in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The bridge formed part of the Breda - Rotterdam railway line. In 2022 there was the polemic about dismantle the bridge dotje huge Bezos yacht could pass by. At the end the city of Rotterdam voted against it.

Magnificent. Truly a work of art. Sturdy bridge. I can't believe they wanted to dismantle this temporarily so that Jeff Bezos could sail through with his dingy. People of Rotterdam made a facebook event to throw eggs at him and his boat. It never happened, though. A couple of years ago somebody had a plan to turn this into a museum. It never happened, though. Maybe that has been for the best.
